How to wear a sleeveless sweater

12/09/2015

Depending on your styling abilities and personal style, wearing a sleeveless sweater may be a blessing or a curse. Some people have that nonchalant retro style and they can wear it with no worries. This type of sweater goes well with any vintagy outfit, and no wonder, people used to wear them all the time in the past. But what if you have a minimalistic, modern style, but still want to wear the vest a knitting enthusiast friend or family member made for you?

I always say it's possible to style almost any garment. All you need is a bit of creativity and an open mind. Personally I really enjoy wearing sleeveless sweaters. They make you warm, and unlike many layers of clothing, they are not bulky and won't make your arms look unnaturally thick.

Like in most of the fashion conundrums, layering is the key. Pick your layers carefully. Wearing a sleeveless sweater over a white shirt paired with flares will make you look like a high school student time traveler (I'm exaggerating a bit, still you get the point). But, if you mix it with an elegant vest or a jacket it will look classy and polished.

Another look I really like is wearing a casual, feminine dress with sleeveless sweater on top. This outfit looks effortlessly chic and has a lovely retro vibe.

Go ahead, give it a go. That sweater your grandma made for you doesn't have to lay in the back of the closet. Mix it with appropriate pieces for a whole new look. And trust me, nothing is warmer on a windy, snowy day, than a sweater made of real wool.
